More than 150 girls and boys are taking part in the ongoing 23rd Sports and Defence Championships of Youth Associations for the Minister of National Defence’s Cup in Bolesławiec. The two days of competition focus primarily on physical fitness events.
On the first day of competition, the young participants tested themselves in a team cross-country obstacle run over 6.5 km, shooting a 7.62 mm kbk AK rifle from a supported prone position, and throwing grenades at a target and for distance. The second day of the championships is no less demanding. The times recorded in the swimming relay and while completing the obstacle course at the physical fitness centre may still change the order on the podium.
Despite the less-than-ideal weather, all participants are properly motivated and approach each event with sporting determination.
